Overall Satisfaction with Network for Good

Origin currently uses Network For Good for all email marketing campaigns and it allows the added benefit of incorporating fundraising into every single email/eblast that is distributed. Origin relies heavily on email marketing to generate clients and keep active clients engaged. Network For Good allows us to do this and fundraise at the same time. However, you do not have to fundraise with the emails you send out, they can simply be informative if desired. Network For Good saves us money this way because we do not have to pay for two separate programs. It simplifies fundraising and email marketing for us by allowing it to live all in one place with the ability to stay organized and simple.

When first starting out using the platform, Network For Good staff helped us merge all 15,000 contacts over into the system in less than two days! You can create and save templates to save time and determine the effectiveness of different campaigns. We use it to promote individual programs and the entire organization. It also helps us track & thank our donors, stay up to date with donations, and compare the progress we are making versus the previous year.

Network For Good is well suited for Origin because it serves as an email marketing and fundraising tool all at the same time. We rely heavily on our email marketing campaigns to generate new clients and engage with current clients. It saves us money because we can literally do both all in the same place with just one program. You can save and reuse templates, track the effectiveness of different campaigns, keep track of donors and donations, and create several donation pages. For a nonprofit like Origin, this is all so helpful because we have several different programs we fundraise for and this allows us to keep it clean and organized. The software is easy to use and they provide a coach to help teach you how to fundraise effectively. My job is easier because of Network For Good.
